Default Should I buy these Wheels?

Came across an ad on Craigslist for these 18" wheels including tires for short money.

245/40/18

What you guys think about them?

LOL...that's my impression as well but considering the price of $350 for wheels and tires....it makes you reconsider.

Save your $350 and put it towards better wheels. Trust me, something better will come along.

Something better always comes along...with the exception of offers on my house...it seems to only get lower.

I don't like the look of the wheels and don't think they would look good on your GS.

If your on a bugget. Why not just spend the money on better quallity tires for your ride till you save enough $$$. 18's tires will coast you more if anything was to happen.

Do it right the first time

It sounds like a pretty good deal. Do a search for some member (can't remember) with 18" Lowenharts. Those wheels appear to be a copy of that style so it should probably be similar to what those wheels would look like on your car.

Wow...tough crowd....point well taken.

I guess I'll have to save up for the MRR HR2s or bite the bullet and take some heat from the wife for a few days. If you buy it and can't return it oh....sorry no refunds.
